USB-C cable 0.5 m USB 2.0 5 A PD

This 0.5 m USB-C to USB-C cable carries USB 2.0 signals at 480 Mbit/s and delivers up to 5 A of power for fast charging or laptop powering. It is USB-IF certified and features aluminium-mylar foil with braid shielding. The nickel-plated 24-pin male connectors fit Thunderbolt 3 ports. The short length suits desktop or travel setups where clutter must stay low.

Mobile users needing quick top-ups

The cable suits anyone who wants a compact link for charging phones, tablets or a USB-C laptop from a wall charger, power bank or docking station. Data transfer stays at USB 2.0 speed, so users moving large video libraries or running external SSDs should choose a longer USB 3 or USB 4 cable instead. It also does not carry video signals for monitor connections.

0.5 m length decides portability versus reach

At half a metre the cable fits in a small pouch and eliminates slack on a desk, but it cannot span from a floor outlet to a monitor shelf. Buyers who need more reach should select a longer cable, while those who prize minimal bulk will find this length ideal. The fixed length is the single specification that determines whether the cable fits the intended use case.

Questions about this item

What does the 480 Mbit/s rating mean when I use this cable with my laptop?

The cable runs at USB 2.0 speed, so data transfers top out at 480 Mbit/s; it will not reach USB 3.x or Thunderbolt throughput even if both ports are faster.

How does the USB 2.0 interface limit what I can do with this cable?

It caps data at 480 Mbit/s and video output is not supported, but the USB-IF certified 5 A Power Delivery path works for charging laptops and phones.

Will the .5 m length and USB-C male ends fit my dock and laptop without adapters?

Yes, both ends are 24-pin USB-C male plugs on a half-metre PVC jacket, so they plug directly into any USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 port.
